Solution

The correct option is D

Regulation of calcium metabolism


Other than maintaining our wake-sleep cycle, melatonin also plays a role in regulating our metabolism which goes hand in hand with maintenance of body temperature. It influences pigmentation and plays a role in regulating menstrual cycle. Calcium metabolism is carried out by parathormone.
